Only a few ingredients are necessary to make a copycat Shamrock Shake recipe and they are probably already sitting in your kitchen!
I remember two things about St. Patrick’s Day from my youth: 1. wearing green to avoid being pinched at school, and 2. Shamrock Shakes. A few years ago I remember saying to my boys, “Oooo! It’s Shamrock Shake season!” and they looked at me like I had antlers.
I could not BELIEVE I had not yet introduced them to the good ol’ delicious green shake of the Irish. Except, I’m pretty sure they don’t originate from Ireland. Another YUMMY manufactured American recipe for the books.
